Note that this is the Dickies that makes workwear [1], not the similar sounding but spelled differently Dickey's BBQ [2] or The Dickies band [3][4] who are one of the longest tenured punk rock bands having started in 1977 and are still performing.
Of the three the workwear maker is the only one I've never dealt with. The BBQ was pretty good several years ago, but I ended up just not going for a couple of years, then when I tried to the ones nearest me had all closed and the number a medium distance from me had greatly diminished and their ratings had tanked.
I've seen the band live twice and both had interesting interruptions. The first interruption there was a problem with an amp and they had to pause the show while it was fixed. The singer walked over to the keyboard and said that to entertain us while we waited he would play and named a Bach piece. I don't remember what piece it was other than it is one considered to be difficult piece, and he played it perfectly.
The second interrupted show was one where the crowd at the front of the stage was urging the singer to crowd dive. He asked them if he could piss on them instead. They shouted "YES!".
Big mistake. He then stopped singing, the stage crew quickly got a spotlight on his crotch, we got to see him unzip and whip it out...and he then proceeded to urinate on the people in front.
The show resumed but the people who had been pissed on kept trying to get onto stage, and security was having trouble keeping them back and the show had to be cut short.

Why would anyone be confused about this? The first sentence of the article reads: "The workwear apparel brand Dickies is moving its headquarters from Texas to California."
- tzs 2y agoMany people check the comments before they take a look at the article, so I thought it might be useful to have a comment mentioning which Dickies the article is about.
- serf 2y agoI had a The Dickies tshirt that I was banned from wearing in public high school.[0] coincidentally I have also been to a show where the lead started pissing on everyone -- but he didn't ask. (Mike V and the Rats).. you'd think that would be uncommon, but maybe it's a so-cal punk band tradition. lol [0]: (it was their band name in the style of a flaccid penis, https://i.etsystatic.com/7307138/r/il/58ab4b/3571084842/il_fullxfull.3571084842_tvsc.jpg https://i.etsystatic.com/7307138/r/il/58ab4b/3571084842/il_f... )
